I noticed that a local shop has them for €5. IDK how many there are left, I could pick them up for delivery at Telford.

Given the current exchange rate that's under 4 quid.  Bargain time!  My instinct would be to buy them anyway and bung them in the kit swap at about £7 each.  Handy little profit.

Just been to the shop, picked up a bunch at €6,50 each. The €5 was an ESM show special.

they have more: http://www.modelwereld.eu/catalog/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=vc-10&x=0&y=0 (price is incl domestic P&P)
Be aware that this shop tends to stuff smaller kits into an envelope rather than sending a box.

Does this  mean we might (in  the  fullness  of  time)  see  a  long winged   POFFLER ortwo?

I wouldn't mind a couple Harro, but I'll probably have to discuss shipping etc as I'm medically restricted from driving/travelling long distances until the end of the month. PM me to let me know if that's ok with you.
